Enhancing Volatility Forecasting: A Comparative Study of GARCH(1,1) Models with Non-Normal Error Distributions

O. S. Makinde*, A. A. Olosunde, O. K. Agunloye

This study proposes a GARCH(1, 1) model with generalized logistic distribution (GLD) errors to better capture skewness and kurtosis in financial returns. Using crude oil price data, it compares GLD with GED and Student’s t-distributions. Results show the GLD-based model outperforms others in forecasting accuracy and volatility modeling.
